Selected Papers from Chinese Journals of Structural Engineering
This book is an initial effort to introduce selected papers from journals published by the China Civil Engineering Society to ASCE membership. The twenty papers in this volume were selected...

Structural Design, Analysis and Testing
This volume contains the papers presented in 21 sessions of the 1989 Structures Congress held in San Francisco. The papers cover a wide range of topics including types of construction...

The National PDES Testbed?An Overview
Product Data Exchange Specification (PDES) is an ambitious project with the goal of developing a standardized format for representing and exchanging information about almost any manufactured...

Graphics Interchangeability in a Heterogeneous Network
The paper outlines the complex problems of graphics interchangeability in a heterogeneous network of workstations, and discusses requirements for a practicable solution. The design of...

The Portability of Graphics Package Dependent Software
Currently at the University of Wyoming a research project is under way to investigate methods of reducing the portability problem in software design. The project entails a general functional...

Teaching Engineering with Calculation Software
The term 'calculation software' is used here to describe computer software which has the basic functionality of a programmable scientific hand calculator, but...

A Broader View of Computer Aided Design: A Novel Course Coupling Art, Communication and Engineering
A novel course is described which brings together faculty and students from Engineering, Communication and Art Departments. Students are introduced to a sophisticated computer art program,...

Perceptions of Architects Regarding Use of Computers and Educational Requirements for Architectural Technicians
This paper identifies those cognitive competencies common to all CAD programs to determine which will best prepare the students for entry-level CAD proficiency and flexibility within the...

Project HAWK?Freshmen on PC-Based Case Studies
The paper discusses an attempt to develop a course introducing freshmen to engineering with special emphasis on engineering faculty interaction. Personal computer use, engineering cases,...

Interactive Aircraft Section Calculations for Drag
Large interactive computer programs are being called upon with increasing frequency for the preliminary and conceptual design of aircraft. One drag component which can be estimated at...

Real-Time and Off-Line Aids for Teaching Digital Control
This is a report of unique computer tools developed for teaching of the design of digital control systems at the University of Wyoming. The real-time components of the laboratory involve...

Stereolithography
Stereolithography is a three-dimensional printing process which produces accurate copies of CAD solid or surface models directly from CAD data. The process uses a moving laser beam, directed...

LAN Implementation in a Teaching Laboratory for Computer Integrated Manufacturing
The CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) lab at Western Washington University contains a miniature factory with five robotic workcells and eight computers representing various departments...

ROBOSIM: A Simulation Package for Robots
ROBOSIM was developed first in a VAX environment. Using PC's with a terminal program capable of emulating a TEKTRONIX 4014, students can create robots, see them graphically,...

A Minimal Input Computer Aided Manufacturing Program for Personal Computers
The author presents here an algorithm developed in Pascal for an integrated two and a half dimensional CAD/CAM system. The geometry and the tool paths are defined simultaneously, thereby...

CAD and Video Teleconferencing Network Development
The Institute for Telecommunication Sciences is developing a prototype network to demonstrate the integration of a variety of services and methods for fulfilling Navy shipbuilding requirements....

Environmental Risk Assessment at a Gas Utility
Over the past 10 years, Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) has developed an environmental risk management program to mitigate or eliminate the potential health risks to employees,...

Monte Carlo Simulations of Uncertainties in Risk Assessments of Superfund Sites Using Crystal Ball?
Most health risk assessments for Superfund sites combine a series of worst case assumptions to derive a 'point estimate' of risk that is 'conservative,'...

Radon Resistant New Construction Practices
This paper highlights the basic principles for building radon-resistant houses and it groups the construction techniques into four categories, i.e., the barrier approach, soil ventilation...

Cost of Radon Control Measures in New Construction
Installation of a radon prevention system in new construction increases costs to builders and to homebuyers as well. Builders and/or their engineers will need to assess different approaches...
